If you have been doing the SUP for a while, you’ll agree that you love being in and on the water. The paddle boarding is one of the most popular water sports happening in the Hanalei. That’s why a lot of board rentals that you can meet there. And you will be able to do this with your friends or family. But just like any other tourism object, the weather and the environment will dictate what you will be doing on the water. Not to mention that your tour can be tricky because you don’t know how to track your paddle. The sole solution for this matter is by using the GPS.
Whether you are going alone or with your friends, you will want to see the progress of your session. Perhaps you are up to make everything into the documentation. The thing is that you can’t always make complete documentation although you already have the video and pictures. The GPS tracking will come in handy if you want to trace and track your progress. There are also some apps that you can install on your GPS to monitor your speed as well, like Speed Tracker.
There are some things that you’d like to see in the data provided by the GPS. One of the most favorite things is to view the satellite map with your route layered over it. The route that you’ve been through can also be shared amongst the paddlers, in case you want to share the other groups or your friends to follow your path. The satellite will view you from above and make an accurate tracking of your paddling.
When you come to the board rentals, there’s a chance that the shop owner also offers you the GPS renting. That makes sense because not all people master the art of navigation by themselves. Having such a sophisticated gadget can be a good game changer for everyone.
The GPS will also inform you about the details of the trip such as duration, distance, as well as speed. Every log in every trip gives you valuable data that you can process for improvement, review, discussions, etc.
It will also provide you the information about the location that you need to seek. This will also document the tracks and keep you safe. In other words, you can find the way back home easily with the help of the device.
Consider to have one to carry, and you won’t regret your decision ever.
